Product Customer Reviews

Hello Marc, thanks for your review. We always recommend to our customers to get the next size up than they usually wear as our sizes are European.
Jessie
Great looking shorts very light weight idea for trekking in the desert (Dubai)
Quick and easy to order and delivery
These are my new favourite. Great fit and comfort.
Lightweight and good fitting. Just the ticket. I went back and bought a second pair (different colour).
Quality shorts at a wallet friendly price, as good as any big names that are double the price
Good fit, lightweight and very comfortable
Best walking shorts I've purchased so comfortable. Please introduce more colours.
Plenty of pockets
Bought a pair of XL in the Cheltenham store yesterday as XL has always fitted me easily, however these are not a UK XL and now see while sat here at home (24.8 miles away from the store) that Decathlon XL is only a 36 inch waist. I now have a 49.6 mile round trip to make which with todays fuel costs is quite expensive, plus the parking charge when I get to the store to return them.
Great fit and very quick drying shorts .
Great mutli-purpose shorts for mountain or casual wear, even swimming. Plenty of secure zipped pockets and features. Light and quick-drying.
Really good lightweight walking shorts at a great price. Excellent for warmer days, very comfy especially with the stretch panels, quick drying material.
Wow
Good looking

Additional Product Information
Composition
Main fabric: 100.0% Polyamide ; Yoke: 88.0% Polyamide, 12.0% Spandex ; Lining: 100.0% Polyester cationic
How are the dark gray and brown models eco-designed?
For the dark gray and brown versions of the shorts, we used a bulk-dyeing process called "dope dyeing". This process incorporates the color pigments from the initial thread manufacture to reduce water consumption. As a result, we reduced the carbon emissions by 31.5% for the dark gray version and by 21.7% for the brown version.
Hybrid structure
Shorts designed with 2 different materials: - a durable fabric (7.3 oz/m²) on the areas that need protection from abrasion (seat). This fabric also has stretch properties. This gives you plenty of freedom of movement. - a lightweight and breathable fabric (4.4 oz/m²) on the rest of the shorts.
Accessories
